ISIS - Dulcinea. Claymation music video

[Hollibal666Lecter]

this is one of my favouritesongs by isis........ and this video is perfect, I've loved it for years..... 

[jayeb1rd]

Very nice. One of my faves by ISIS. Was a little afraid to watch this, as most fan vids are just bad. This was a very well thought out video.

[watte625]

Great Dude :) Just great!

[jawnail]

yes. very nice job. very adam jones-ish (tool) which is a good inspiration to have. first time checking out isis, and I liked the story telling, the lighting was really cool. I actually cared about how the orange guy mattered to the blue guy.

[joaocolucas]

nice video, kinda reminds me of some Tool ones :)

[mmeccafork]

created an account just to like this. D'aw

[vahnn0]

Damn, man, just checking these guys out for the first time, someone said Id like them since I love Pelican. This is the first song I've listened to, and didn't know it was a fan vid... Went really well with the song, and tripped me out the whole time. And I'm 100% sober! Hahaha.

Excellent video, dude, keep it up!

And damn these guys are excellent.

[TheIVVPLabs]

This is beautiful.

[sotool76]

trippy shit

[SkruffyTurner]

I thought I was a little corny at first but It really captured me Amazing job great take on the song, such a sad ending.

[korvexpictures]

Keep going with it - this is cool - hey our new movie trailer has claymation :0 I'm gonna go sub you now and check your stuff out

[durkadurka91]

Such a sick visual take on an amazing song. Awesome job man! Keep it up cause this is creative as hell.

[outlawformetal614]

@LandOfMutants yes



[smokejc]

@LandOfMutants Lol.

[naacillep12]

good beginning... keep it going!

[KATastrophicKidd]

that is so intense.

[CRRankinstein]

He who criticizes art without being constructive is no artist.

[ChokeTheMessenger]

@CRRankinstein he who criticizes art is not only no artist, but is also destroying other artists in the process

[ifhyymf]

Shit man, it was awesome!!!!!! congrats, for your first claymation it was really good, keep doing vids like this. Actually i'm felling like doing a claymation with som ISIS.

[EMERALDEYE1982]

nice job



[bagseye]

great first attemp mate keep it going.

[bagseye]

Well done mate. very good for your first attemp and hope to see more of your stuff on here.

[1515thrive]

Great to see their music inspire creative ...creations hehe. they'll do that.

[dvssk8er3]

this blew my fucking stoned mind man

[FrontporchMan]

6:30- one of the greatest moments in rock history

[NightXemnas]

That was... Amazing! I know how hard claymation is, it takes more patience than I have unfortunately! I loved the storytelling!

[yossip23]

BTW, great video man!

[yossip23]

One of the best endings in a song ever!!! I guess Don found his love and couldn't do nothing but jizz in his pants...

[jermbeast88]

@yossip23 Haha! I completely agree. Isis was such an amazing band, there aren't words for what they can create for the listener. The ending in this song is the best ending I've ever heard to a song, I always said the ending to "Afternoon With the Axolotls" by Hum had the best ending until I listened to ITAOT. I love how Isis can absolutely peak at the end of a song for just a short moment, leaving you wanting more. They never disappoint.

[fauxsecret]

Captivating video.... to say the least

[begguyasommer]

impressed. first attempt?!  moving.

[PartVIII]

this video inspires me to conquer my monster

[stonehavenjc1221]

thats awsome

[GrasshopperByNight]

Wow this is amazing, I can't believe it's your first one! you should make more =)

[bladra]

Pure fucking music. I wouldn't have liked this if I would have heard it back when I was in high school. I'm glad I've heard it now in this thought full state of mind. I Love Isis!

[NairbNarud]

Yay for Blue Wolverine Don Quixote!

[SuperAgaciatko]

awesome :)

[thephantom0]

Great ending

[Power2theFlyingV]

This is a pretty rad vid for one of the best songs ever. I can see you put a hell of alot of work into this, for claymation is a pain in the ass to do. Awesome job man

[Kondorcome]

excellent video man... Isis are one of the best bands in the world

[phleidhs]

beautifull song and video to me!well done!

[gadfleye]

great effort! Isis is one of my favorite bands. thanks for sharing.

[WePandas]

Fucking awesome.

[kazzum27]

heartbreakingly beautiful bro, as a huge ISIS fan, and someone for whom dulcinea means a whole lot, this video is brilliant. yeah its your first attempt, and yeah its basic, but through the form of it i see right through to the content, and thats the beauty of art. i can see what the song means to you, and anyone who cant see that just shouldnt be posting! this is a video for people who truly love the song, thankyou

[sweetbabe026]

Ah this is like a baby Tool video. Thats tight!!

[ERiiK98]

Its like classic story about a hero and and a person he has to save!

[cdryahoo]

He is not mad His thought is clearer than the saner man. For in her, he saw beauty overflowing, through the tattered clothes. She was his queen She is a queen. In dreams he wanders the darkness in search of her light.

[sk8rj514]

sick vid for a first time. im not nearly as patient as you are. good work man! bad ass song love ISIS!

[8uhb6yhn]

This is awesome. The very definition of art, as far as I'm concerned.

I'd much rather see you animate music videos than just watch the standard shaky, oddly-lit live footage mixed with violent/dark imagery that most bands use for music vids.

As some people have said, you could improve on the visual aesthetics, and the fluidity of the animation, but the way you convey emotion with such simple visuals is frankly astounding. You should send this to Isis if you haven't already. They'd love it.

[kazzum27]

@8uhb6yhn indeed

[XculonX]

Awesome! :D

[tekqitonstudios]

for so many firsts, this is excellent.

[07SamG]

@ 6:25 VENGENCE IS MINE.F YOU MOFO!!

[TheDewManchoo]

That was damn good. You've got some serious potential.

Sure, the animation wasn't perfectly fluid, but claymation is hard as hell. 99% of the population doesn't have the patience or the talent... so keep up the good work. I hope there's going to be more to come from you.

[bleehixx]

2:54=PURE GENIUS!

[kevinjb7]

Awesome job. I really enjoyed 2:31. Most people have no appreciation for how long this stuff takes.

[Rattienose]

Wow pretty nice, ur sorta at the same animation stage as me, also nice video. IT LOOKED INTO MY SOUL! :P

[spasticpuma]

Great work. Peppermintswirl900, the lyrics do mention a female who he searches the darkness of his dreams for, but its more likely that "she" is just a personification of truth.

[grenolf]

Neato. Always loved claymation. The story' is cool too. Keep going with your art , you got some talent. :)

[serenok]

It's cool but the animation isn't very fluid, try 24 FPS

[bleehixx]

@serenok. the animation isnt fluid i do agree, but i think this fits the video and music perfectly.

[peppermintswirl900]

that was amazing! it took me a while throughout the film to figure out what was going on though. btw, was the orange one his friend or his girlfriend?

[kaewye]

A bloody damn fine first attempt

[rosettastoned451]

Some of the parts were kind of slow, but overall I thought it was very cool. Nice work, man.

[Abuelito5]

i don´t understand the history

[katinsanity1]

PERFECT ending.

it's beautifully depressing.

anubis rising next time? please :)

[Fragile0Still]

All Ican say is you took simple clay animation and really brought art and personality to it. I love it and hope you continue to do these kinds of videos. It's seriously one of the best I saw in this style. Keep it up!

[represent93]

wow this is pretty cool. good job, respect

[tylerdurdenxp666]

Great video !!! Lots of work for a beautiful result !!!

Thanks for making and sharing it...

[SECtennesseeSEC]

pretty neat

[aivokallo77]

you are a true fan! god-fuckin-speed.

[thekeevster]

love the storyline :)

[Hollibal666Lecter]

I love the simplicity... and how perfectly your interpretation blends with the song. I cant stop watching it........ well done :)

[owlertheprowler]

great job!

[Timisweird]

Sweet.

[specialblend2786]

Amazing video man, very very well done. Thanks for making and uploading it!

[CockneyNutjob4]

Although the animation could be a tad smoother, this is just amazing. The song works so well with what's happening on screen and the story is beatiful.

Oh, and Isis are probably the best band ever.

[dyve99]

that's just fuckin' funny, isis' songs are far too deep for just using ''clay''

[ckn1ckn1ckn1]

How can you define how someone feels from a song? What it allows you to feel is going to be unique, and same to him. And just to be fair, I very much doubt you understand what this video means to him. Whats the point of insulting someone if they've not done anything to you?

[VICIOUSBEATING]

@ckn1ckn1ckn1 dude..the guys just doing an interpretation with his own medium with a background he seems fit. maybe he knows the lyrics, maybe not. anywhich way...who the fuck are you to sit and criticize anothers work? they create...you beat your dick toyour own stupid comments.  get a life. i feel sorry i felt the urge to respond to your dumb ass comment with my own.

[morganfreemanscat]

@ckn1ckn1ckn1 i would just like to say that i agree. good day sir

[VICIOUSBEATING]

better suggestion? do something yourself. douche.

[traighost]

That was so cool

[quisquefaber88]

beautiful.. favorite part is the hug, so moving. very artistic and emotional video dude, and nice view of the song

[pwEclipse]

wow man this is ace, go straights into my favs! next time try to do eyelids to the puppets, you can add A LOT doing basic expressions, also the timing of the animations is a bit off in some points but the concept is neat and very well executed. Also, ISIS ROCKS!

[Gridusersyko]

Great video for an awesome song!

[ismailbreznica]

the idea of this video is great , the end is awesome at the same time sad... you need just to add some light effects and edit with adobe after effects cs4 maybe and will be cool :) wish you succes dude,, i`m great fan of Tool Band... this music just heal my soul , make me feel better and real man.Greetings from Bulgaria!!! :)

[3amitstarted]

cool.. i'll have to tell my bro - who is the drummer of this band, about this :)

[sudam666]

I can tell your tellin the truth thats fuckin awesome! If you could also tell him to come up north here to Canada besides Toronto. If Isis were to come to Winnipeg I would drop a bomb in my pants!

[llllllslerglllllllll]

nice job 8)

Watch my claymations if you'd like

[toolshopmarathon]

adam jones?

[barkchun]

comments to peoples vids tellin them to sub

[Tupo8]

not bad for a first attempt.

[simlione]

really great song..

[fog152]

Really like this video

This song was the first one I was able to bear with screams in it, after which I got used to it and got to like it. After that the way to other ISIS songs and to bands such as Opeth was very short

[ArtgasmDesigns]

Wow, this is really pretty awesome. Way better than my first try. You should check it out. It'll make you feel pretty good about yours. :)

[suupertramp]

this was nice, i like the shape of your characters - very easy to animate as well

[BlackFeather713]

reminds me tool, opeth, a perfect circle...

[LHCLEGION]

You're not the only one. I've often thought some of Isis' work was very Opethian in the way it built up.

[alokazo]

Like something Adam Jones would do.

[AwesomeEmberWolf]

This is an awesome animation.....MAKE MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!(please)

[chillichimp1]

really good begining

slighly jumpy

keep going

[Gitarpunk]

I get the general Ideas you were getting across, and what you would have wanted it to look like, but I wish the main blue guy would have looked more sad or serious because he's definitely a mood-kill.

[ZoRgO300]

wow very good and nice and smooth 5/5!

[travisbarker1982]

Beautiful work, gives more power to the song, expecially in the part from 2:20 to 3:20. My compliments!

[Shagthegoat]

clip suiits the band, musuc inspired by tool, clip inspired by Tool?

[bunihunnybaby]

Wow, rly good for your first video! Nice job. I've tried claymation before. But I failed. Nice job keep the videos comeing!

[sosiopaatti]

Awesome! :D

[Kynophobia]

AWESOME.

The only thing you could do is go a little bigger with the figures.

That way you can get more human-like (or non-human like) qualities.

Really well done!

[dinosoarzsayrawr]

nice job with the claymation!

[astralateral]

obviously a tool "inspired" effort.

[KuastaLambda]

This is so good dude.

[damashiidono]

this is beautiful. not polished, refined beauty, but simple and maybe even crude unpolished diamond. so brilliant that it sparkles. i luv the concept of having it all in a box, and things going on in the bg like in theatre plays where they used paper dividers as walls and scenes.

[finbomartini]

Jesus dude, it wasn't that good....

[EtherealWaves]

lol haha

[angienel]

Great video!!! I loved it, good job the orange one was dulcinea? that's why she disappears in the end right? and I don't see any similarities with any Tool video, why ppl say that? what Tool video? because of the clay figures? Tool didn't invented claymation... the figures and the plot of this video are cool...

[mildeo81]

Very nice artwork dude. Keep it coming.

The song is just superb.

[thedarkestvein]

i love this, very well done

[acrislazoiu]

wow that was amazing great job!

[jay13thstep]

This is a bit too much like a rip off of Tool for me, though Im not taking away the effort and determination you must have had to produce this... its just not original enough for me to see anyting other than a lighthearted Tool video with an ISIS song. Though it is good work - how long did it take to do this?

[haschkakor]

This is stunning :O love it

[dontcallmedert]

i dont really get it.. the orange guy isnt really there... so he symbolizes what? plz reply to me! i must know! u did an awesome job but maybe u could explain it in the description? thanks for the help!!

[angienel]

I don't know if I am the right one to give u an explanation 'cuz I'm not the maker of this video, but I think the orange guy is Dulcinea (u know this history?) she never was real, she was an invented princess by don quixote, he was in love with her and all that he wanted was to recue her (but again she didn't exist) he was mad in the book but in the Isis lyrics it says "he's saner than the saner man, she was his queen, she is a queen".

[dontcallmedert]

wow... this is like storytelling... tell me more! (i dont know thuis)

[magimaxmotiongirl]

impressed!

[vincerellie]

Very clever and creative! nice work! I am beyond impressed!

[brkdaice]

poor clay guy =(

[christStrothman]

this vid is genius.. its so oppressing.

great great great 5 stars

[Morpf]

Great Job! Obvioussly one of the best musicvideos i have seen in the last few months. even better than isis' new official video for ,,not in rivers but in drops"! I really had to lough, when the blue guy attacked the black monster, it is a great scene.

[4NGUISH]

reminds me of the vid tool - schism somehow

[francismoe]

krass krass

[halloweeniseveryday]

Wow, great job, you obviously have a talent!

and an exceptionally awesome job on the part when the vine-tentacle things come out of the ground and grab the blue guy! oh and when the black beast dies, that was cool...Keep doing claymation, you did an awesome job on your first attempt!

[h3roinmonster]

that wasnt a black beast, it was the antithesis of the flying spaghetti monster..

Hail HIM!

[1928374650zool]

Amazing. i can definately see a tool influance.

[Moth45]

impressive

[irollwiththestones]

very very good video, u should try claymation with the song hive destruction by ISIS, that would be awesome!

[climaximus1]

you are gifted man. Keep up the good work!

[demos111]

man.. I remember this vid being uploaded and watching it for the first time! still awesome!

[moviemaniac97]

that really good for ur first claymation! try useing a higher fps rate, it will look really cool

[mattlock666]

wouldnt that just mean that they eould have to pose te figures more times per second making it take longer to do?

[munkyy421]

BRILLIANT, good job!!! keep making videos

[firestar54]

kinda weird but really cool

[goobsterface]

cant stop watching this

[unbornanddeathless]

oh my god. this is my first time Isis experience, got to get into it immediately!! and yeah i think too that video is bit Toolish, but not a wannabe, its great!

[Xeretix]

Very nice video. You seem to have some style, so keep developing it!

[LitttleD94]

Has an almost Godsmack sound. Awesome video though dude. Excellent claymation.

[animation508]

please change the frames per second rate , that's all that's wrong with this vid.

[Pactodemekos]

Beautiful.

[goobsterface]

You are fucking amazing, thankyou for making this video, you single handedly got me into Isis and claymation, you ar ethe shit

[Discobolus]

I agree. Stop comparing bands. They don't play the same music.

[Fighting44]

amazing song, awesome video dude

[TaikanDaLemon]

Awesome claymation and what a crazy ending to the song. I swear I just played the last 45 seconds 20+ times...

[KingSams0n]

that's exactly what I did the first time I heard the song!!!exactly the same!

Great Song, with an even greater Finale!!!

[cwh244]

simply...amaziiing~...very well done :}

[krepecish]

Make more of these. I mean- it`s good.

[ZRYLVRN]

Isis is better then Tool, i'm also a Tool fan, but ISIS is just better

[canadainyoface]

You mean you like Isis better. Saying 1 band is better than another is just plain ignorant when comparing such great bands.

[cha0scl0ud]

I was introduced to ISIS when they opened for Tool on the 10,000 days tour, and I was blown away. I wouldn't say they were better overall, each band is better than another in any way depending on the listener. I like Tool because other people know of them, but ISIS is awesome because they're so unique... both are "better" but better than what? ;)

[hookerkiller]

word, same thing happened to me

[marek0086]

oh they'e hugging how lovely!!

[terrythegreat]

i see you like to watch TOOL videos alot! this is just like them

[yopegountiroalaire]

Congratulations good work! I love this song..

[avianman66]

I love how dramatic you made claymation with primary colors. A hard thing to pull off. All the stuttering helps.

[Chimpytoe]

What kind of clay did you use?

[ghoawaynetcabo]

pretty nice effort, good work, you should try sending this link to the band :)

[Kukident1]

i miss a little the connection between the music and the actual video, but still you did a very good job, 5/5

[jenshalsberghe]

that was very nice man! i really enjoyed it

[jackson413]

Absolutely amazing.

[fragtific111]

awesomeness

[merustproof289]

if that was your first attempt than you really have a gift.

thank you for this video.

[bmxorretw]

that got me man.... that got to me.

[Nikkisohood]

i love it..

=]

its very good.

[kibblesbob]

Really good, check out my claymations too ty! im kibblesbob

[Wanterkeelt]

This is done so well. It really fits the ideas and lyrics of the song. Simply amazing. You deserve a lot of respect !

[alejandro15187]

auctually svenkmejer does all types of stop animation. I don't know why I said that. he's really good wth clay though
